i GLORIOUS FOURTH Spoilt bv a Glorious Rain--The| Flower Parade the Special Feature. The glorious Fourth in Butler was overshadowed by a glorious rain of inestimable value to the far- mers of Bates county. While those who had anticipated a “big time” at the celebration were disappeinted, it was a very profitable disappoint- ment. The rain began on the even- ing of the 3d and rained with gentle downpour all night, and it was threatening all day of the 4th. A large number braved the weather, however, and the day was given over to pleasure and noise. The grand trades display, adver- tised for 10 o’clock in the merning, was dispensed with and the Flower Parade was postpened until 3 oclock. At that time the parade was formed at the corner of Dela. ware and Pine streets, headed by the First Brigade band of Mo., it took up its lime of march to Main, on Main to the public square, which they twiee circled. About twenty vehicles, all beautifully decorated, were in line, and without doubt it was the most beautiful display ever exhibited in Butler. One gentleman who witnessed the sun flower parade in Oolorado Springs, said it was not prettier than this. Several who saw the flower parade in Kansas City said that this parade equaled that in general points and excelled it in many particulars. It is impossible in our limited space to attempt a description of each vehicle, and we fear such an attempt would be a dis- mal failure, as we could not do them justice. All showed much work and pains; the designs were beautiful, the flowers lovely and the ladies all pretty. The judges were Prof. W. E. Welch, Prof. Arthur Borron and Mr. J. W. Poffenberger. It wasa very trying and delicate appoint- ment and very bard for them to make a decision. The first prize was awarded to No. 11, the second prize to No. 16 and the third to No 15. No.-11 was a handsome two seated trap, owned by Jno. L. Stanley, and decorated and occupied by Miss Daisy Stanley, Mrs. J. R. Morrison, Mrs. Geo. W. Newberry and Miss Maud Oliver. The decerations were pink end white roses on a white back ground. Two horses were driven a la tandem. No. 16 was a two seated trap owned by Mrs. J. D. Allen; decorat- ed and occupied by Misses Frankie Lisle, Ninon Dooley, Edith Lindsey and Genevieve Childs. The decora- tions were yellow chrysanthemums. The young ladies were dressed in pure white with chrysanthemum trimmings. No. 15, two seated carriage owned by OC. B. McFarland, decorated in pure white, with four elderly ladies viz: Mrs. E. Norton, Mrs. N. A. Wade, Mrs. J. E. Arneld and Mrs. H. Oliver. The ladies were dressed in white, without hats, showing their white hair, making a pleasing effect. The amusing feature of the parade was the Phelander Do Stix Hoodoo band, which brought up the rear and made fun for the crowd. It was composed of home talent and was very good. The fire works at night were very good, but not equal to some exhibi- tions heretofore given by the flam beau club, possibly owing to the damp weather. Shot Down on the Street. Lowell, Mass., June 30.—William Kelly shot and killed his wife while she was passing along the street early to-day. Kelly then ran away. Mrs. Kelly, who worked in all night restaurant, was on her way home when her husband, with whom she had not lived for some time, confronted her and asked her to re- | ; Mrs. C. F.

Sells, |a@ prominent citizen of Spruce, com- plimented us with a pleasant call | while attending the fourth and had his subscription set ahead. In company with his granddad, Uncle Tom Walls, we received 6 pleasant call from Master Curtis Wright, eight-year old son of the late R. M. Wright, formerly marshal of Butler. He and his mother, now Mrs. J. H. Bagby, were down from Kansas City to spend the fourth. In January Mrs. Wright was mar- ried to J. H. Bagby. a respectable and industrious railroad man, who helds a splendid position on the Kansas City Belt Line. She is a most excellent lady and has many friends in this ceunty who are always glad to learn ef her happiness and prosperity. Ten Menin Jail for Lynching. Athens, Tex., June 30.—The ten men accused of lynching James, John and George Humphreys were remanded to jail without bail yester- day. Three have confessed. The prisoners are: Walter Wilkinson, Joe Wilkinson, Polk Weeks, William Brooke, John Greenhaw, Arthur Greenhaw, W. E. Johnzon, William Gaddis, Jehn Stevens and Samuel Hall. WOMAN AFIRE IN BIG STORE, Steps on a Watch and Her Clothing Ignites. New York, July 2.—4n extraordi- nary accident resulted yesterday in the mortal injury of Mrs. Sylvester J. O'Sullivan at Plainfield, N. J. While shopping in the dry goods stere of Crosby & Hill she stepped upon a friction match. Iastantly the blaze ignited her gown, and before aid could reach her she was aflame from head to neels. Mrs. O'Sulliven was dressed ina light muslin gown. Its skirt was edged with a soft and voluminous flousce, and in addition her petticoat was heavily trimmed with soft and delicate laces. A clerk came forward to wait upon her. As she turned toward the counter an indistinct yet neticeable crackle caught the ears ef the clerk and he leaned over the counter. A thin thread of smoke curled up from the edge ef the flounce, and beneath it a sudden ray of flame streaked out. “Fire,” screamed the clerk, rush- ing to the street. Mrs. O'Sullivan fer an instant gazed at hira. Then, with a cry, she locked down at her gown. As she bent her head the fiame climbed to the side of her gown, leaping along the filmy fabric with incredible swiftness. “Oh, Ob!” she screamed, “I am on tire.” The words still moved her lips when she screamed again—this time in agony. The flames eating through the texture of the gown, had seared her flesh. Then she began to run threugh the aisles of the store and her clothing was nearly all burned off her body before the flames were extinguished. She is so badly in- jured that she can not live. COMING EVENTS. to Butler on Thursday July 13th is a show of the highest class and clean in every respect. It represents ail that there is of legitimate worth jin the cirous business. It is in charge of men who aspire to elevate the tone and purify the atmosphers of the calling, and we believe the performances during the past sea- sons will certify they have succeed. ed.
